Card Cup #2

Card Cup #2 is using a Race Wars format. All games played will be non mirror matchups.9 players (3 of each race) on separate Protoss, Terran and Zerg teams.Its a 7 week format.Each week you will play a Best of 5 vs someone.There will be 1 week where you sit out.Over the course of the tournament you will play once vs each player on the other 2 teams.During the week, you arrange a time to play with your opponent whenever it is convenient for you both.After you play, 1 of you (agree between yourselves who) uploads the replays and posts them in this thread.You can upload the replays here:http://bwreplays.com/By the way you can upload replays to broodwarmaps.net if that is a convenient method for you (or anywhere else).And you can post the replays in this thread with the template below.(make sure the links to replays are in spoiler tags, dont give away the results)Please be sure to save the replays and upload them.Copy/Paste Replay and Results Template:+ Show Spoiler +

Depending on the outcome from this phase, it might be fun to do a mini semifinal and final between the top 4 players afterwards. Otherwise it might just be a Win for 1 Team or a Draw of some sort.

I think the format is interesting because theres no early knockouts and you play every other player.Test your skill in a series of head to heads vs 6 opponents.Each match is like a snapshot to see who is the best player between the two of you in that matchup at that moment. And you get to represent your race as a fun bonus.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I designed the format last year, hopefully its correct. The idea is that no player has 3 of the same matchup in a row, and that the week where 3 players have to sit out comes in the middle of the tournament.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you sign up, please tell me what race you would like to play.If you would like to cast any games let me know.Edit: All the player slots are full, so the tournament will start on Monday the 21st of May.If you and your opponent are able and willing could you please play on 1.16.1 for backwards compatibility of replays.(Using SC116 rather than SC ActiBlizz would be beneficial for me).---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pics of the maps:(4)Clay Fields

@Ty2 Thanks, Herbmon and Ninazerg killed it last time. Are you thinking of playing in this one?

btw if anyone wants to cast this one, you dont have to cast every single game lol, just a few random games that tickle your fancy would be great.

@Radley Sure, Ive put you in a Terran Slot. You are Player D. That way you get 2 TvZ matches right at the start.

One day Star Tale will have its own pack of cards. Ofcourse the designs would be in the public domain so if you wanted you could download and print them yourself or whatever. The design is similar to the Star Tale Magic System:http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/517382-star-tale#20Ive actually made 3 mock up decks previously for this and they have been used instead of regular playing cards.

Now I just need to convince Glider or someone to create the illustrations and agree to release them to the public domain An idea is that the artist could still make a fair amount of money from their work by asking for donations to reach a target before releasing the work to the public domain. That target could be $10 or $10,000 or $1 Million. Whatever the artist feels is a fair price for their work. Could sell the first '100' decks at a really high price too or something. What Im saying is there is plenty of ways to make money even if you put your work into the public domain. You can start small by just making 1 card or a few cards and seeing if people will donate before committing time to create any further drawings.Probably will end up using my own designs to start with which are a minimal clean look on a black background.

Sorry offtopic, these are just some things Ive been thinking about. Anyway...

Sign up guys!

I'd love to participate, assuming there's need for a protoss! I'm a crappy 1.6k MMR player, though, so I'd much rather give the spot to someone of higher level. So please only add me last second, and only if there's no one else who can/wants to play (even if they're lower level than me)

@Incomplete..ReV Ok cool, we shall see if others sign up first.@iRk-arCNeON Excellent, Ive put you in a Protoss Slot. You are Player A. Looks like you will be getting 2 PvTs in the first 2 weeks, then a PvZ in week 3.
